The FS2 program is funded by the National ScienceFoundation, is focused on engineering and computer science (CS) majors and is designed toimprove retention and graduation rates. The FS2 program is currently in the fourth and finalacademic year and has engaged 470 first-year engineering and computer science students.

RQ 3: How can strategic collaboration between K12 and industry promote a shift in teacher’s conceptions of engineers and increased self-efficacy in building and delivering engineering curriculum? RQ 4: How do stakeholder characteristics, perceptions, and dynamics affect the likelihood of sustainability in strategic collaborations between K12 and industry stakeholders? How do prevailing institutional and collaborative conditions mediate sustainability?To answer these questions, we will collect a variety of qualitative and quantitative data over thelife of the project.

One study explored the relationship between mindfulness and innovation inengineering and found that dispositional mindfulness significantly correlated with innovationself-efficacy among students (Rieken et al, 2017). This study defined innovation self-efficacy asone’s confidence in their ability to innovate. There was another study that demonstratedmindfulness correlated with business skills self-efficacy (i.e. students’ confidence in performingbusiness skills) and the intent to pursue a career in a start-up or entrepreneurship (Rieken, Schar,and Sheppard, 2016). The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether engineering studentswould be receptive to potentially integrating contemplative practices such as mindfulnessmeditation to

Here are some student comments: “That was such a good course offered. It was amazing,” “I loved getting hands on experience programming VR applications and doing the project as an individual, not in a group,” and “I liked the integration of VR and mechatronics and how we can combine the two to create applications that can help in that regard.” Question 8 was assessing the challenges students had in the course. Students did not have any problems with the VR concepts, only the implementation. Most comments addressing challenges were dealing with the EON

Construction Management faculty can supportstudents’ motivational beliefs and academic achievement through the use of instructionalpractices that remind students about the important role that effort plays in success [37].There are three main cognitive motivational theories: goal theory, expectancy value theory, andattribution theory that apply to students.In goal theory, motivation is induced by the discrepancy between their current condition asstudents and their future condition (i.e., goal) of being a practicing professional. Self-efficacy, orone’s ability to succeed in a specific situation, plays a significant role in goal theory. A student’sgoals should be challenging but not be perceived as beyond their capability

Understanding a person’spsychological concept of self is very important when considering a person’s motivation for andsuccess in education. Several studies which use interventions based on students’ psychologies,including their mindsets, have proven to be effective in affecting educational outcomes [5-9],especially in at-risk and underrepresented groups.The literature includes few studies wherein the growth mindset has been applied in engineeringsettings.

effort which involved early (summer semester sophomore year)internships are outlined in Sriraman, et al. [3]. However, research indicates that retention inengineering is connected to the development of engineering identity [4]. Thus, while earlyinternships contribute to student retention, the underlying mechanism that is at work resulting inimproved retention is engineering or professional identity development that occurs during theinternship experience. More broadly speaking, Bandura [2] has argued that an individual’s levelof motivation and actions are more closely based to what they believe than on what is objectivelythe case [5]. Thus, cognitive factors such as self-efficacy share a connection with identitydevelopment.Definitions of

Having a peer mentor can aid in new students adjustingto campus life [9], [17].

Others think STEM was coined byNASA as SEM with the “T” added because it sounds better.Because this complexity is pervasive at every stage, most STEM research is focused on oneaffective construct (such as motivation, attitude, interest, self-efficacy) in a single STEM area[12]-[15]. And consequently, few if any instruments exist to capture STEM as multi-constructsand none in multiple STEM areas [16]. Currently few existing instruments fully capture thebreadth and complexity of the STEM disciplines.
